DOOM SPENDING IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF SHARIAH ECONOMIC LAW: ISRAF AND TABDZIR

Abstract

In the uncertain global economic conditions, doom spending has become an increasingly worrying trend among modern society, including in Indonesia. The phenomenon is a form of excessive spending in response to a crisis or uncertainty from the perspective of Islamic economic law, especially the concept of israf (excessive) and tabdzir (waste). Using normative legal research methods and conceptual approaches, this study aims to analyze the conformity of doom spending behavior with Islamic economic principles, identifying the boundaries between israf and tabdzir in the context of doom spending. The results of the study indicate that doom spending fundamentally contradicts the principle of moderation (wasathiyyah) in Islamic economics and is classified as prohibited behavior (haram). This study also found that the boundaries between israf and tabdzir in doom spending lie in the intention, purpose, and impact of the action. So that the solutions offered include the application of the principles of infaq and sedekah as a form of productive wealth distribution, the development of Islamic financial literacy, and the implementation of economic policies that encourage balanced and sustainable consumption behavior.
